Empezó muy mal ya que reservé una visita en español y, como el grupo que me asignaron era inglés, me impusieron la visita en dicho idioma. Afortunadamente el grupo inglés no se presentó y pude disfrutar de una visita individual con una guía, Marisol, impresionante: excelente en cuanto a conocimientos contagiaba su pasión por el arte. Visita didáctica, ágil, interesante, inteligente: matrícula de honor!

Really great tour by Ana, shared fascinating insights and historical context at exactly the right level for us (myself and parents), and also highlighting particularly artists and scenes from our home country. Ana really understood how to make a great tour and we loved every moment :)

Fine, but incredibly basic. Organizing-wise everything is spot on, but this tour is mostly designed for people who have very little to no knowlegse on art. If you have never ever seen a Picasso painting or dont know what middle age art looks like this is fine, but if you want a bit more advanced, you will be bored like hell. In the end I stayed in the museum and heard much more interesting tours going on.
